Catching up on the FFXIV Fanfest news: CG Reaper is sweeeet Gunshields!! XD Elemental-based skyships as our zones is going to be really cool to explore Norse vibes? Norse vibes. Am honestly weirded out by the FF7 crossover for the 8-man Also, hubby and I are going back to our pre-DT jobs for 8.0

I'm only slightly annoyed to have to pull out Berlioz again. Slightly. I am drowning in sheet music y'all

I think I've started hitting the point in my career where my hands remember more of the music I've played then my brain has "Okay new part, pedals are in, let's play through this" *plays one measure* "...... I've played this before. Which means I already have a marked up part for this." 😐

*sighing in Wagner* Also I think playing a Britten opera earlier this year gave me mild ptsd Hubby: "Can you maybe practice something that DOESN'T give me an anxiety attack?"

Here's in four pictures why I haven't been as active on socials 😅 (I'm super active on Discord though)

I'm very late on sharing this and really need to be on socials more 😭But I'm so happy that we finished this and love what we created, it took quite a while but all the changes and additions we made in the process really brought this cover to life in a beautiful way 💗 Thank you Pernelle!!

Getting a lot of nostalgia boosts rn XD KH4, Oot, single-player Brave Exvius remake in 2D-3D (Resonance)? Eeeeeeeeeee (thinking I should finally do that Brave Exvius cover I've been thinking of for years)

#1 reason I wash makeup off when I get home from gigs: So my very impatient cat who desperately wants to groom my face can safely groom my face Also my cheek feels very exfoliated now

Weird thought that would be super cool to somehow organize one day: Performing Austin Wintory's "Their Waters Were Mingled Together" from Abzu, live, with full 7 harp ensemble I know enough harpists locally...

Hey y'all Something I've really struggled with is finding the time to make music for myself when I work full-time as a musician/arranger. The only thing I have is to schedule time to focus on it and protect that pocket of time... Do you have any tips for making it work for you?

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee Evercold (Also CG Au ra)

I can now say that not only have I played two operas... ... but I finished playing all four shows of the second opera while sick XD (masked and drinking water basically every other recit) I went through so much Tylenol Gonna finally get some rest now

Have Aida stuck in my head Yes, the Verdi opera It will be very stuck in my head for the next three weeks Yes, I might be playing it 😁 😁

My life is rehearsals

Me continuing to go through older rep and also continuing to go, in much frustration, "WHY WAS MY YOUNGER SELF SUCH A DUM DUM" (context, am bringing back the Debussy trio, which I last performed *before* going for a music degree)

Younger me, your future, professional self honestly wonders how you functioned as a musician (aka I'm revisiting rep from when I was early in music school for an upcoming recital and I'm flabbergasted at my lack of markings and bad muscle memory habits is trying to push me back to)

Awesome, awesome track and a great tribute to FFXIV and the journey us Warriors of Light have made. Thank you for letting us lend our voices and a job well done!!!! 🎶🎶🔥💎

Extremely proud to have been a part of @ocremix.org’s #TimeShift album, having been given the opportunity to write the closer to the album, “Children of Light.” Not enough space here to tag all the homies, please see the comments for the awesome people who helped get this piece finished!

Fun fact: I've wanted to learn electric bass since I was like 13. Do I have time? No Do I have income and cables+amp? Yes Am I getting younger? No ... so anyway this might become a personal project after holiday season

Practicing Tournier bc I'm performing it next week 🙌 I love this piece and also I've missed properly working on classical stuff XD (it's been a long summer haha) (Piece is Tournier Sonatine Op. 30)

Hey, it's a thing I recorded for! :D Really happy to see this finally released! Am always excited to record and make music with other people 😁 Thank you for having me on this project!!

I am now the proud owner of three harps Fear me 1 Aoyama Orpheus 47 1 Grand Harpsicle 1 Thormahlen Swan I am so excited y'all 🙌

Of all the places I could've stashed a tuning key while moving, a knitting project bag with an inactive project in it was not on my radar

YouTube has really decided to throw all the nostalgia at me XD On that note, I should really rewatch Gundam Wing from an adult perspective ... really this applies to a lot of older anime though

Plus sides of moving: new space, able to better personalize and set up for storage/recording/living, don't have to tiptoe around housemate's schedule, also quiet and super walkable Downsides: Moving all our stuff XD

It's a crazy crazy time! So here's some of what I've been up to this summer XD

Me playing through an arrangement of Libertango for fun and realizing I could totally add this to my setlist if I work on it a bit :D Which is super fun bc :D

I feel like I've been recruited into mildly strange circumstances of playing Mahler 2, but... here we are XD It's been awesome catching up with people I haven't seen since pre-COVID though!

Just posting multiple pics bc it's been a while and... life is busy XD

When you're busy arranging small ensemble stuff but you have Seagulls Stop It Now stuck in your head

Due to the Twitch storage rule change and an impending deadline, I sat down and... cleared up everything in the "Highlights" section (which I'd used to hold onto old VODs). Did back up some playthroughs though. TBH, I think my Twitch streaming days are over; may consider Youtube if I stream again
